FORTIETH CONGRESS. SENATE. Tuesday, April 14, 18C8. The Senate Court was opened in due form. Mr. SUMNER offered the following order: "Ordered, that, In answer to the motion of Managers, in reference to the limiting of the final argument, unless otherwise ordered, such Managers and counsel as clioo.se, may print and file their remarks at any time, oil the closing argument." CHU.D' JUSTICE. If there be no objec tion, it will be so ordered. Mr. CONNESs I object. Mr. SUMNER I would respectfully ask, under what rule such objection cau be made? The (JlUhir J Italic b. replied that on sev eral occasions he had decided the rules of the Senate to be the rules of the Court, as lar as applicable. Mr. SUM-NKK-Of course It Is not for me to argue the question; but I beg leave to remind the Chair of the rule under which this order was made. CHIEF JUSTICE-It will lie over to the counsel. The counsel for the President will proceed with the defence. Jlr. JSVAUTS stated that Mr. Staubery was ill ; but would be able to resume his duties within forty-eight hours, and possibly to-morrow, lie asked the Indulgence of the Court for to-day. On motion of Mr. HOWE, the Court ad journed until to-morrow. Messrs. Sumuer and l'omeroy alone voting no. The Senate continued In legislative session. The PRESIDENT resumed the chair, and called the Senate to order. Mr. DAVIS gave notice that he would move the following additional rules to rule of practice and proceedings In cases of impeachment : "Two-thirds of the Senate present shall be necessary to rule on any question of evidence or law against the party Impeached."Mr. ANTHONY, from the committee on Printing, reported favorably on the resolution to print 5,000 additional copies of the report of the Impeachment trial, which, on his motion, the Senate proceeded to consider.Mr. SHERMAN asked where these documents were beinn printed. Mr. ANTHONY said at the Government Printing Oilice. Mr. SHERMAN referred to the enormous expense of printing, especially in connection with the Congressional Globe, where this report was printed and of which additional copies could be procured at a much less expense. He enquired what the expense would be. Mr. ANTHONY replied probably about $10,000. Mr. SHEKMAJN thought It time to stop the waste of money iu the distribution of docnm nts to their constituents, who could buy them at the book-stores it they wanted them. Mr. BL'CKALEW moved to add the fol lowing as au amendment: And the distribution of the same to Senators shall be In ac cordance with the population of the States respectively. Mr. ANTlIOMi denied that the expenses of Congressional printing had increased, and claimed that they were not as much now In greenbacks as they were belore the war lu old. .Mr. HliNGRICKS thought from an exam ination he made last session that the Senator was mistaken; that the expenses had already increased. If desirable, the circulation of the reports of this trial would be much subserved bv admitting the reporter of the As sociated Press to a seat on the floor, ns had been proposed, without auy expense to the country. .,w() copies would add considera bly to the expenre of printing and give a very small additional circulation. Mr. AlN iiiu.Ni asKed it tne senate nan tltrures to show the increase. Mr. HENDRICKS could not recollect that, but thought they showed the Increase to be nearly double. Mr. AN ruu saia tne senator was mis taken. Messrs. Davis, Bayard and Johnson op nosed the amendment, the latter arguing that equal representation of States In this body tins been the means oi preserving tne uuiou to this time, and it lias operated as a check In other branches. He was opposed to any proposition recognizing inequality in this chamber. Mr. CRAG IN Indorsed the statement of Mr. Anthony In regard to the comparative expenses of printing, spetiKing irom ins expe rience as member or the committee on rnnt- lnn of the other House some years ago. Mr. CONNESS was In lavor of the resolu tlou. He thought the documents should be sent to public libraries. Mr. YATES thought all the States were equal ; he wished the people were. Enough ol these documents, lu his opinion, had been already ordered. Mr. MOlUUN denied tnat tue amendment makes anv lueouallty of representation. Here he thought he recognized In equality of popu latlon tuat which Had been recognized in other wrys. A stroug feeling was growing nn. with which he did not sympathize, agains the Injustice of allowing Delaware, with 100,000 inhabitants, tue same representation on this floor ns New York with a minion nnd was crowing stronger every day Mr. BL'CKALEW thought the criticism made on his amendment uncalled for. It merely propose an equitable distribution among the people. The amendment was re Jected, and the resolution then adopted. On motion of Mr. MORTON, at ltfO P.

The Consul at Porto Rico reports the ces sation of the cholera at St. Thomas. At Porto Rico, earthquakes were of daily occurrence. The Traveling Serffenut Finishes up the mrcc. Sergeant Bates, carrying the United States flag, arrived here this forenoon, and was met at the Long Bridge by a committee of citizens aud escorted bv a lartre crowd to the Executive Mansion. He was met at the portico by President Johnson, who invited him into the East Room, and there gave him hearty welcome. No speech-making was indulged in, the occasion being devoid of for mality. After a few moments' conversation, Sergeant Bates, accompanied by a large concourse, left on the line of march down Pennsylvania Avenue, and the Sergeant proceeded to the Metropolitan Hotel, and having ascended to the portico, the Hon. Charles A. Eldridge delivered au address. Mr. Michler, Superintendent ol the public buildings, who was to place the flag ou the dome, was sent to Mr. Brown by a police man, and Mr. Brown endorsed it, giving the required permission. The paper was then handed to the policeman In charge of the door, who would not let Mr. Bates pass Into the capltol without the further endorsement of the Sergcnt-at-arms. Being tired of de lay Mr. Bates with his friends left the capltol to plant the flag on the Washington Monument. Bates was then escorted to the hotel, the proprietor of which entertained him gratuitously.The dedication or the Lincoln Monument erected by the citizens of Washington iu front of the City Hall, will take place to morrow.

Mr. Ashley and other Republican speak ers are addressing a Radical meeting here tonight.Tiie teuure-of-offlce act traces its paternity to au Illustrious parent. The Frankfort (Ky.) Commonwealth says it so happens that Henry Clay was the author of this bill. In 1S33 there was a discussion in tne senate oi tne United States upon the power of appointment and removal. The Constitution, it will be remembered, Is wholly silent on the question of removal. To a pending bill Henry Clay offered the following amendment: lie it furtMr enacted, l hat in all instances of appointment to office by the President, by and with the advice and conseut oi tne sea- ate, the power of removal shall be exercised In concurrence wltn the senate ; aud when the Senate is not In sesslou the President may suspend any such officer, communicating his reasons for the suspension during the first month of the succeeding session: and If the Seuate concur with him the officer shall be removed; but If It do not concur with him the officer shall be restored to oilice. This amendment covers the whole ground assumed lu the tenure-ot-oillce law. It Is that law In a condensed form. It contains every principle of that law. An unfortunate woman.on Thursday night. white attending one of the Catholic churches with an Infant in her arms, was thrown Into hysterics by discovering that her child was a corpse. Going out Into the street, and being unable to control her grief, she was ar rested on the supposition mac sne was iipy, aud locked up. Subsequently the truth of the ease was ascertained and reported to the Police Captain who had caused the poor creature to be Imprisoned ; but that functionary, with rare cruelty. In spite ol explanation, In sisted upon keeping the womi In a cell ail night, where sue passed iney wry Hours in a state of frenzy, clinging to the dead body of her child. So gross airinstance of the abuse of authority has seldom come to our knowledge, and we trust, for the credit of the police foree, that Commissioner Acton and his col-leagues will promptly dismiss the offender from the organization which his conduct has disgraced. N. Y. Times. Thk Loudon Spectator says of our General Sheridan ! "Any one who looks narrowly Into the lhcts will discern iu the foresight, decision, speed, audacity, resolution, and wise cautlou of Philip Sheridan, something Napoleonic. Had he been In France ninety years ago, he would have become a Marshal aud a Duke; had he been boru lu Euglaml, his fine military gifts would have been lost to his country, or, if he had entered the Rrmy he would have died almost a Sergeant."

CHU.D' JUSTICE. If there be no objec tion, it will be so ordered. Mr. CONNESs I object. Mr. SUMNER I would respectfully ask, under what rule such objection cau be made? The (JlUhir J Italic b. replied that on sev eral occasions he had decided the rules of the Senate to be the rules of the Court, as lar as applicable. Mr. SUM-NKK-Of course It Is not for me to argue the question; but I beg leave to remind the Chair of the rule under which this order was made. CHIEF JUSTICE-It will lie over to the counsel. The counsel for the President will proceed with the defence. Jlr. JSVAUTS stated that Mr. Staubery was ill ; but would be able to resume his duties within forty-eight hours, and possibly to-morrow, lie asked the Indulgence of the Court for to-day.

Mr. ANTHONY said at the Government Printing Oilice. Mr. SHERMAN referred to the enormous expense of printing, especially in connection with the Congressional Globe, where this report was printed and of which additional copies could be procured at a much less expense. He enquired what the expense would be. Mr. ANTHONY replied probably about $10,000. Mr. SHEKMAJN thought It time to stop the waste of money iu the distribution of docnm nts to their constituents, who could buy them at the book-stores it they wanted them. Mr. BL'CKALEW moved to add the fol lowing as au amendment: And the distribution of the same to Senators shall be In ac cordance with the population of the States respectively. Mr. ANTlIOMi denied that the expenses of Congressional printing had increased, and claimed that they were not as much now In greenbacks as they were belore the war lu old. .Mr. HliNGRICKS thought from an exam ination he made last session that the Senator was mistaken; that the expenses had already increased. If desirable, the circulation of the reports of this trial would be much subserved bv admitting the reporter of the As sociated Press to a seat on the floor, ns had been proposed, without auy expense to the country. .,w() copies would add considera bly to the expenre of printing and give a very small additional circulation. Mr. AlN iiiu.Ni asKed it tne senate nan tltrures to show the increase. Mr. HENDRICKS could not recollect that, but thought they showed the Increase to be nearly double. Mr. AN ruu saia tne senator was mis taken. Messrs. Davis, Bayard and Johnson op nosed the amendment, the latter arguing that equal representation of States In this body tins been the means oi preserving tne uuiou to this time, and it lias operated as a check In other branches. He was opposed to any proposition recognizing inequality in this chamber. Mr. CRAG IN Indorsed the statement of Mr. Anthony In regard to the comparative expenses of printing, spetiKing irom ins expe rience as member or the committee on rnnt- lnn of the other House some years ago. Mr. CONNESS was In lavor of the resolu tlou. He thought the documents should be sent to public libraries. Mr. YATES thought all the States were equal ; he wished the people were. Enough ol these documents, lu his opinion, had been already ordered. Mr. MOlUUN denied tnat tue amendment makes anv lueouallty of representation. Here he thought he recognized In equality of popu latlon tuat which Had been recognized in other wrys. A stroug feeling was growing nn. with which he did not sympathize, agains the Injustice of allowing Delaware, with 100,000 inhabitants, tue same representation on this floor ns New York with a minion nnd was crowing stronger every day Mr. BL'CKALEW thought the criticism made on his amendment uncalled for. It merely propose an equitable distribution among the people. The amendment was re Jected, and the resolution then adopted. On motion of Mr. MORTON, at ltfO P.

Sergeant Bates, carrying the United States flag, arrived here this forenoon, and was met at the Long Bridge by a committee of citizens aud escorted bv a lartre crowd to the Executive Mansion. He was met at the portico by President Johnson, who invited him into the East Room, and there gave him hearty welcome. No speech-making was indulged in, the occasion being devoid of for mality. After a few moments' conversation, Sergeant Bates, accompanied by a large concourse, left on the line of march down Pennsylvania Avenue, and the Sergeant proceeded to the Metropolitan Hotel, and having ascended to the portico, the Hon. Charles A. Eldridge delivered au address. Mr. Michler, Superintendent ol the public buildings, who was to place the flag ou the dome, was sent to Mr. Brown by a police man, and Mr. Brown endorsed it, giving the required permission. The paper was then handed to the policeman In charge of the door, who would not let Mr. Bates pass Into the capltol without the further endorsement of the Sergcnt-at-arms.

Mr. Ashley and other Republican speak ers are addressing a Radical meeting here tonight.Tiie teuure-of-offlce act traces its paternity to au Illustrious parent. The Frankfort (Ky.) Commonwealth says it so happens that Henry Clay was the author of this bill. In 1S33 there was a discussion in tne senate oi tne United States upon the power of appointment and removal. The Constitution, it will be remembered, Is wholly silent on the question of removal. To a pending bill Henry Clay offered the following amendment: lie it furtMr enacted, l hat in all instances of appointment to office by the President, by and with the advice and conseut oi tne sea- ate, the power of removal shall be exercised In concurrence wltn the senate ; aud when the Senate is not In sesslou the President may suspend any such officer, communicating his reasons for the suspension during the first month of the succeeding session: and If the Seuate concur with him the officer shall be removed; but If It do not concur with him the officer shall be restored to oilice. This amendment covers the whole ground assumed lu the tenure-ot-oillce law. It Is that law In a condensed form. It contains every principle of that law. An unfortunate woman.on Thursday night. white attending one of the Catholic churches with an Infant in her arms, was thrown Into hysterics by discovering that her child was a corpse.

In spite ol explanation, In sisted upon keeping the womi In a cell ail night, where sue passed iney wry Hours in a state of frenzy, clinging to the dead body of her child. So gross airinstance of the abuse of authority has seldom come to our knowledge, and we trust, for the credit of the police foree, that Commissioner Acton and his col-leagues will promptly dismiss the offender from the organization which his conduct has disgraced. N. Y. Times. Thk Loudon Spectator says of our General Sheridan ! "Any one who looks narrowly Into the lhcts will discern iu the foresight, decision, speed, audacity, resolution, and wise cautlou of Philip Sheridan, something Napoleonic. Had he been In France ninety years ago, he would have become a Marshal aud a Duke; had he been boru lu Euglaml, his fine military gifts would have been lost to his country, or, if he had entered the Rrmy he would have died almost a Sergeant."
